Chapter 122: Amazing the Entire Class by Being First in Five Subjects

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Math class representative did not react for a while when he was passing Xu Yaoguang back his paper.

He loosened his grip.

Xu Yaoguang took his own paper and walked back to his seat.

Only then did the Math class representative look up blankly. He seemed to have heard his own mechanical and strange voice. “Qin Ran, 150 marks.”

The class was initially still discussing the scores. This time, the Math paper was very difficult. It seemed as though Hou Delong did not want ordinary students to pass the exam.

There were more than fifty people in the class.

Almost thirty people were in the 70 to 80 mark range.

There were around 10 students in the 90 to 100 mark range.

The remaining few students had around 100 marks. Lin Siran was the first to break through with 119 marks.

As for Xu Yaoguang’s 141 marks, although others might be amazed, after being in the same class as him for 3 years, they already knew his crazy standard.

He participated in the Mathematical Olympiad before. How could he be used as a comparison?

When the Math class representative said that out, the entire class fell into an unspeakable silence.

Qiao Sheng raised his hand, thinking he had heard it wrongly. Standing up, he said, “You read an additional zero, right?”

Qin Ran stand up, pulled out her chair, and lowered her eyes as she took her paper.

When the Math representative handed her the paper, he took a second look at her.

Her expression was calm. She did not seem too surprised and her expression was still as carefree as usual.

She was always in this state of mind and seemed to have the arrogance of a teenager. In the past, no one dared to provoke her. However, in the eyes of the Math representative, there was an unfathomable mystery surrounding her.

The class remained silent.

After the papers were returned, Gao Yang took out a new paper and stood on the podium.

Holding a piece of chalk in his hand, the tone of his voice was genial as usual. “Everyone performed well for this Math test. The average score is much higher than last time. Lin Siran, especially, made the most improvement. This time, the questions were especially hard, so don’t be discouraged. The college entrance exam will not be this difficult. In the entire city, only Qin Ran had a perfect score.”

The class remained silent.

Xia Fei and a few classmates looked at their teacher in disbelief. How could you say that Qin Ran scored full marks for the test so naturally?

“The class rankings, city rankings, and the results of every subject are out. You can all check them out after class.” After Gao Yang was finished, he continued with his head bowed as he explained the questions.

The problems were difficult. Even though it was multiple-choice questions, the calculations were very demanding.

After one lesson, Gao Yang only managed to explain four multiple-choice questions.

As soon as the class bell rang, before Gao Yang could walk out of the class, all of the students could not wait to see the results.

In the past, they all rushed to look at their results, but this time, they rushed to look at Qin Ran’s results.

Soon, they found Qin Ran’s name in the third row.

Qin Ran. Total score: 646. No. 2 in class. No. 9 in the school. No. 20 in the city.

These were nothing.

The most blinding sight was the single row of results that followed at the back.

Language. Score: 146. No. 1 in class. No. 1 in the school. No. 1 in the city.

Math. Score: 150. No. 1 in class. No. 1 in the school. No. 1 in the city.

English. Score: 150. No. 1 in class. No. 1 in the school. No. 1 in the city.

Chemistry. Score: 150. No. 1 in class. No. 1 in the school. No. 1 in the city.

Biology. Score: 150. No. 1 in class. No. 1 in the school. No. 1 in the city.

Among the six subjects, only Physics stood out.

Physics. Score: 0.

These results were even more impressive than Xu Yaoguang, who was second in rank.

Except for the zero that she scored for Physics.

The people in the Ninth Class could not come back to their senses. They all looked at Qin Ran, who seemed to be holding her cell phone and seemed to be texting.

Their eyes were all fixed on her.

Lin Siran was the first to find her voice. However, it still sounded airy. “Ran Ran, have I gone blind…”

Qin Ran did not stop texting. “I think I’ve said that I did all the questions myself without copying.”

Lin Siran wanted to choke her.

It seems that… she really… never said it before…

The students in the Ninth Class were unusually silent this afternoon. The same three things happened for the next three lessons when after teacher came in.

Firstly, the teacher would praise Qin Ran.

Next, the teacher would praise Xu Yaoguang.

Finally, the teacher would praise Lin Siran.

Suddenly, the first dark horse student appeared in the city. All the teachers were very curious and excited about this.

**

At the same time.

The staff room of the third-grade cluster building.

When Ms. Chen came back with the lesson plan, the other teachers congratulated her. “Ms. Chen, congratulations. There’s a student in your class who scored full marks in the English test. There’s only one student who did this in the city. The results of the students in your English class have also greatly improved. Even Lin Siran achieved 130 marks and is not bad compared to the rest of the class.”

Ms. Chen had already smiled for an entire afternoon and she could not stop. “It’s all the students’ hard work. I didn’t do anything.”

Good Luck. Of course, it was good luck. All the other teachers knew in their hearts.

Ms. Chen only taught the Ninth Class for three days. How much could she teach them?

However, precisely because of this, they were even more jealous of her. They all missed out on a star student!

Even Mr. Li who rejected Gao Yang before felt regretful.

Although he was smiling on the outside, he was bitter on the inside.

Even though Qin Ran scored a zero for Physics.

Everyone in the staff room guessed that her Physics was probably not bad.

However, they did not know why she did not answer a single question for it.

“Mr. Gao, you are the true winner!” The teachers turned around to congratulate Gao Yang.

At the same time, some of them instinctively looked at Li Airong.

When Qin Ran first came to Heng Chuan, the school was going to assign Qin Ran’s class to Li Airong, but she refused to teach her, so Qin Ran was eventually assigned to Gao Yang.

After this, Li Airong even spoke in public to ridicule Gao Yang for collecting broken parts.

All the teachers in the staff room knew how ambitious Li Airong was.

From the very start, she did not want Qin Ran because she wanted a class that could produce results.

However, after being so calculative, it seemed that she had personally handed a top-notch student who was filled with potential to Gao Yang.

At the start, Xu Yaoguang was an accident. Xu Yaoguang wanted to transfer into that class and Li Airong was angry about that for a long time.

As a result, she developed a long grudge against the Ninth Class.

However, no one was forcing her now. The school once wanted to place Qin Ran in her class, but she single-handedly pushed her out of the door.

Teachers naturally knew the thoughts of other teachers, especially ambitious teachers like Li Airong. She was aiming to be the next outstanding teacher. Initially, it was a sure bet, but now that this happened, no one knew if she would still win the title.

After all, she could not tell Qin Ran’s score for Physics for the time being.

However, it would not be surprising if it was as good as her other subjects.

Being the top scholar in the city was only a small achievement. If she couldn’t even secure this, it would be difficult for Qin Ran to be the top scholar in the province or nation.

Thinking this way, everyone looked at Li Airong subconsciously. Being the most outstanding teacher would be like playing ducks and drakes to Li Airong.

These teachers secretly evaluated the situation. How could Li Airong not know about this?

She was a little annoyed after being sized up by the people around her. It was all because of Qin Ran’s tomfoolery again, and she could not regain her composure.

If Qin Ran were in the same situation as Xu Yaoguang and refused to join the First Class, it would not matter so much.

However, this was not the case.

Li Airong knew that she personally pushed Qin Ran into Gao Yang’s hands. What else did she have in her grasp in the past but rejected it and gave it to someone else only for him to benefit from it?

**

In an irritable mood, Li Airong took her bag and prepared to go home for dinner.

Just as she took two steps, she was stopped by a student. “Ms. Li, Principal Xu is looking for you.”

Principal Xu, the one who came and went like a ghost in the school?

Li Airong was very puzzled. School had started for more than two months, but she only saw Principal Xu twice, and it was always because of Qin Ran. She wondered why he was looking for her.

Taking her bag, Li Airong turned around and walked towards the Principal’s office.

Director Ding was also present in the principal’s office. He was currently talking to two people in the office about a procedure.

When Li Airong pushed the door, she was met with a very strange sight. The first thing she saw was not Principal Xu but a young man sitting beside him.

He sat on a chair with a lazy posture. He placed one hand on the table and held a teacup with his other hand, his fingertips knocking the edges of the teacup casually.

His movements were clear. Only his droopy eyes look rather lazy.

“I heard that you don’t teach the Ninth Class anymore?” Principal Xu raised his head and looked at Li Airong. “Because of Qin Ran?”

Li Airong was caught off guard and felt that something was very wrong.

She did not dare to answer directly and tried to defuse the situation. “I also didn’t know that she…”

However, her heart was jumping in fear.

At the start, when she saw Qin Ran’s profile, Qin Ran only focused on a few points. One was her studies and the other was her messy past.

Another was her family background.

Li Airong only knew that she had a sick grandma and her father worked in Ninghai Village. The other details were vague in her mind.

That was why she immediately rejected her as a student.

In the past, when she did not want to teach Qin Ran, Li Airong considered whether she could deal with the Qin Family.

No matter what, she was only against Qin Ran. Besides, in her eyes, Qin Ran could not do much harm to her.

Or so Li Airong thought.

“Whether you know it or not, the purpose of our school is to provide a certain stand of quality teaching. Do you know what horrible mistake you have made by letting your emotions get in the way of your teaching?” Principal Xu threw his pen on the table and said.

Her entire body stiffened. She knew she was wrong, but she did not think that the school would find fault with her over someone insignificant like Qin Ran.

After all, Qin Ran’s results were too poor, and even if she was in charge of the First Class, she did not expect that Principal Xu, who appeared very little in school, would care about something so small.

“This situation was proposed by Qin Ran. I didn’t say that I wouldn’t teach them.” Right now, Li Airong completely forgot about Qin Ran’s results.

Her back was drenched in a cold sweat.

“Look at what the school forum says.” Principal Xu signaled to Director Ding to show Li Airong his phone.

Li Airong was a little unstable as she held the phone. She forced herself to read the content on the forum and all of the blood was drained from her face.

Cheng Juan put down his teacup and looked at the time on his watch. He stood up and politely said, “Elder Xu, you should be clear on this matter. Could I trouble you to solve it? I have to return to the school doctor’s office.”

His expression was rather light but menacing.

From the start until now, he only said one thing, but it was something everyone paid attention to.

Principal Xu stood up, nodded, and sent Cheng Juan out. “Young Master Cheng, take care.”

After Cheng Juan left, Principal Xu finally looked at Li Airong again. “Ms. Li, no matter what, using physical or emotional aspects to put down a student is frowned upon. As you are the form teacher of the First Class, it’s not very good to punish you, so I will just take note of this for now.”

After Principal Xu was done, he waved his hand and told Li Airong to leave with Director Ding.

However, Li Airong felt that her blood was flowing backward and she was extremely cold.

She did not know how she managed to leave.

The wind outside was quite strong for the past few days. With one gust of wind, her entire body shivered.

She could not help but feel that her days of climbing the ladder as a teacher were over.

Her delicate makeup could not hide the paleness of her face. “Director Ding, why did the principal suddenly get involved in this?”

Looking at her, Director Ding could not help but shake his head. “You should remember that at the start of school, I told you to go to the school doctor’s office less often, right? Young Master Cheng, who was there just now, is Qin Ran’s guardian.”

Li Airong, who was already feeling uneasy, suddenly had a realization. She remembered that at noon today in the staff room, Director Ding was trying his best to protect Qin Ran.

At that time, she felt that it was strange, but now Li Airong finally understood.

“But I clearly remember Qin Ran’s family background. Her father is only an ordinary worker!” Li Airong’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

Director Ding glanced at Li Airong, turned around, and calmly explained, “At the start, Qin Ran was referred to this school by Principal Xu. Think about it. When has Principal Xu ever personally referred a student to the school before?”

Li Airong was dumbfounded and stood rooted to the ground.

At the start, she rejected Qin Ran because of her grades and because she had no powerful backing.

But now…

Li Airong took a deep breath. Right now, she could only hope that Qin Ran’s Physics results were not good and that the top scholar of the college entrance exam… would not be Qin Ran. Only then would Li Airong feel at ease.

It won’t be her. It definitely won’t be her. Li Airong placed her hand on her heart and pursed her lips.

**

Qin Ran joined the school for two months. At the start, she became famous for being the new beauty queen.

After every lesson, many people tried to get a glimpse of her pretty face, but Qin Ran would usually be lying down and sleeping or using blocks of books to cover herself, so they rarely saw her face.

Later, although some people still tried every day, the numbers obviously reduced.

This afternoon, after the entire Grade Three knew about Qin Ran’s incredible results, they all wanted to congratulate her.

However, they were not able to see Qin Ran’s face. Groups of people came one after another to the Ninth Class to look at the rankings.

They formed a noisy crowd.

Qin Ran endured it till the end of class. After that, she lowered her baseball cap so that only her delicate chin could be seen and left by the back door.

Her admirers even gave way to her.

Qin Ran went directly to the school doctor’s office.

In the entire school doctor’s office, only Lu Zhaoying was present. There were no patients at this time. He was wearing a white coat and leaning slightly against his chair.

When he saw Qin Ran, he immediately sat upright. “School’s over?”

After getting a headache due to the noise the entire afternoon, she sat on a chair and raised her eyebrows. She only slightly acknowledged him, and it was obvious that she was not in a good mood.

Lu Zhaoying paused for a moment.

He only knew that Qin Ran was so hard-working because of her English teacher after reading the popular school forum today.

However, Lu Zhaoying had never seen a teacher like that before.

In the forum, the entire fall out between Li Airong and the Ninth Class was explained, and a few people even talked about how snobbish Li Airong was.

Qin Yu was obviously taller than Pan Mingyue, but she made Qin Yu sit in front of Pan Mingyue and made Pan Mingyue tutor Qin Yu because of the Lin family.

It also described the entire process of Li Airong leaving the Ninth Class.

Once he read it, Lu Zhaoying was enraged. How can a high school teacher be like that? Who does this teacher think she is?

Just thinking about how Qin Ran disliked studying but pushed herself so hard because of this teacher, Lu Zhaoying could not help but add fuel to the fire and told Cheng Juan about everything that happened.

At this time, Qin Ran’s eyes were droopy and she was dispirited.

Lu Zhaoying remembered that today was the release of the test results.

Qin Ran probably did not score well. Lu Zhaoying thought about it, cursed Li Airong in his heart a few times, and said calmly in a low voice, “Qin Ran, it’s ok if you did not score well. Just think about it, your programming skills are so good. There are many other paths besides studying.”

Just as Cheng Mu and Hao Dui walked into the school doctor’s office, they heard Lu Zhaoying comforting Qin Ran.

The two of them glanced at each other. Cheng Mu’s face was expressionless.

He just knew that all the informative books bought by Master Juan were useless.

However, Hao Dui gave Qin Ran a complicated look. From that day, he really never understood why Master Juan thought so highly of her.

However, after Qi Chengjun’s warning, Hao Dui did not say much.

At this time, the girl with the toothache appeared again.

She held her face and was squirming in pain.

Lu Zhaoying temporarily stopped comforting Qin Ran. He sincerely told the girl with the toothache to see a dentist as soon as possible and that drills were not as scary as she thought they were.

However, as the girl spoke, she kept staring at Qin Ran.

Lu Zhaoying did not find it strange. Qin Ran’s face was too famous.

He leaned over and continued to comfort Qin Ran. “It’s ok if you did not score well once. There’s still a year to go before the college entrance exam. If you work hard, you can definitely get into an undergraduate course.”

As he spoke, he noticed that the girl with the toothache staring at Qin Ran had finally come to her senses and was looking expressionlessly at Lu Zhaoying.

Lu Zhaoying touched his chin. “Why are you looking at me like that?
